Birthday Week - Day 4

And it's the Eve of my 25th birthday!

Today also included some yummy food. I have a trend going on here don't I? Buying something yummy to eat every day. We hardly eat out so this is weird. Haha! But I am not complaining. So today we had Hungry Howie's Pizza. I love their flavored crusts and how inexpensive they are.

Anywho but on a not-food-related note, we also have decided to start looking at houses to rent. With all of debt almost paid off I feel like the sooner in my pregnancy we move out the better. Our original idea was to move until about February but at that time I won't even have the energy to move or anything. And I also want Jr to get used to paying more bills than what we currently have. So the plan is to start looking at least. We still might not move anytime soon but we at least want to get the ball rolling. See what we can afford, what we qualify for and all that. The only thing we know as of now is that we want to stay in the same area as my parents. That way in case my Mom still needs me or gets sick I am close by... and vice versa... I may need them as well! With Jr working 12 plus hours at night I will be left home alone at night with the kiddos. And having them close by will be good.

But the main reason we want to stay close is because I am very adamant about keeping Diego in the same school until we buy a house. Growing up I went to the same school from K-6, then 7-8, then did 1 1/2 years of high school in the same district. So I grew up with many of the people I still know to this day. I never once moved (until High School) and I liked being stable. I remember growing up and some of my friends moved constantly because their parents rented or lived in apartments. I knew some kids that moved one year and then the next year returned to our school because they moved back into the district. And I don't want that for my kids. So until we buy a home I want them at the school Diego is currently at. I say until we buy a home... because when that time comes I don't know where we will move or what side of town we'll move to... so if we move further from Avondale then I will most like put them into whatever school is in that district. At least that's my plan.

So the search begins. We're not in an extreme hurry but I figure the sooner the better because Jr will need some time to adjust to paying more bills before the new baby comes. This will be a good thing for him.
